Death Row, with it’s new management, is planning to re-release the classic Dr. Dre album ‘the Chronic’. In a recent interview the Senior Vice President of WIDEawake Entertainment and Death Row, John Payne, talked about the first album since the acquisition of Death Row Records. “We’re releasing ‘the Chronic’, and it’s going to be called ‘the Chronic Relit’. It will be remastered with a couple a more songs that were done at the same time as well as a lot of footage and artwork. We’re remastering it so that it works with today’s technology, but we’re not changing the mixes or doing anything like that.”
While the mixes will be unchanged, some songs might be extended with verses from other artists. “There are a couple Dre tracks that had no third verse, and we’re going to be seeking people to complete them. We won’t go to the entertainment realm. We just want average, everyday people.” Payne said.
A releasedate for ‘the Chronic Relit’ is to be announced.
